Moreover, now that Zhao Gao was dead and Li Si was imprisoned, he would work hard to nurture Fu Su and tell the world that he was the stable successor.
If that was the case, would the world still be in chaos?
Wait, Li Si…
"Hehe, that's true…"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then said," Let's not talk about this for now... Today, I have a question that I would like to ask you.”
"What is it? Old Zhao, go ahead."
"What do you think of Prime Minister Li Si?”
"Li Si?"
Jiang Yue said," He's full of talent, but he's not broad-minded enough. He's full of talent, but he values power too much.”
"Yes…"
Ying Zheng nodded. Li Si's greed for power was completely emphasized by Jiang Yue!
"Then, in your opinion…"
Ying Zheng asked," If a person like him knows his mistakes and can change, can he continue to serve us? After all, his talents are rare…"
Li Si? He had to have a chance to change…
Jiang Yue thought to herself that after the First Emperor left, Li Si still wanted to use his talent to govern Great Qin. However, Zhao Gao could not tolerate this threat, so he directly got rid of him!
If Li Si hadn't died and had been put in an important position, perhaps Great Qin wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
Although Li Si was also a Legalist, his law enforcement was not cruel and brutal. It could only be considered strict.
After all, when he had joined forces with Qin Shi Huang, Great Qin had not started any uprising.
All of this happened after Qin Shihuang's death. Huhai and Zhao Gao went crazy and sought death.
"If there's a chance, of course I'll use it.”
Jiang Yue said," People are not saints and sages. If he's not a great villain, of course, we have to give him a chance. However, if a minister made a mistake, whether he would forgive or not depended on the emperor's attitude.”
Moreover, what was the use of saying that? Jiang Yue thought that Li Si was still killed by her own greed in the end.
The attitude of a sovereign?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked," Then, if the First Emperor knew that Li Si had made a mistake like what you said, would the First Emperor spare Li Si's life?”
"Probably…"
Jiang Yue said," The First Emperor is very kind to all officials except for the wicked. Even if there were any conflicts in the past, it would still be the same. Let's not talk about anything else, just Wang Jian and the Emperor…"
Wang Jian?
Weng!
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Wang Ben was stunned.
My father?
Why are you talking about my father?
At the thought of this, Wang Ben immediately looked at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng looked back at Wang Ben. Wang Ben's face immediately stiffened.
"Marquis Wucheng?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said," So what if it's Marquis Wucheng?”
Wang Jian was Marquis Wucheng, while Wang Ben was Marquis Tongwu.
Great Qin did not enfeoffe kings, so the highest rank below the Emperor was Marquis.
The Wang family had two Marquises, and they were considered extraordinary in Great Qin!
"Back then when the Qin destroyed the Chu Country, didn't Wang Jian have a conflict with the Emperor?”
Jiang Yue smiled and said," Wang Jian wanted 600,000 troops, but the Emperor refused. Li Xin said that he wanted 200,000 troops, but the Emperor gave it. In the end, the 200,000 troops suffered heavy casualties! The Emperor personally drove the carriage to look for Wang Jian, firstly to apologize, and secondly to beg him to leave the mountain. How could a tyrant have such an attitude? Therefore, the First Emperor was not that narrow-minded.”
"Hehe, that's true!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng chuckled. Recalling the time when he had personally driven the carriage to beg Wang Jian, he could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Thus, the Emperor is not narrow-minded. Li Si is talented and can be of great use. If Li Si makes a mistake, the Emperor will not have the heart to kill him.”
“……”
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's lips curled into a playful smile. Jiang Yue had guessed everything that he had been thinking.
He was indeed reluctant to kill Li Si. After all, Li Si was his best friend when it came to the strategy of unifying the six states.
"Then, what if all the officials insist on killing him?”
Ying Zheng continued to ask," If that's the case, what should we do?”
"Baiguan? That's normal."
Jiang Yue smiled and said," The officials are, first, jealous of the talented. Second, Li Si is a bit of a loner! Therefore, if he was in trouble, not many people would be willing to save him.”
"Yes…"
Ying Zheng nodded his head in agreement. That was right, Jiang Yue had completely predicted this.
"Then, do you think the emperor will listen to the officials and kill Li Si or let him go for such a blunder?”
"It's not easy to release, and I can't bear to kill…"
Jiang Yue chuckled and said," He made a big mistake and the officials are angry. If we let such a person go, how can we convince the public? Therefore, the Emperor needed some external help.”
External aid?
Help?
Ying Zheng was stunned." What external help do you need?”
"Get someone to plead for Li Si!"
Jiang Yue said," Find that kind of person with an extraordinary status to plead for Li Si and make that person understand his feelings and reason with him. Then, the Emperor won't just pardon Li Si directly but give him a chance to atone for his crimes. Isn't this giving himself and everyone a way out?”
"Oh, right!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. Then, who could take on such a huge responsibility?”
"This is not easy to find…"
Jiang Yue smiled and said," Li Si is already the Left Prime Minister. His status is so high, yet he still angered the public. Who has the ability to intimidate the officials and still be willing to plead for him? After thinking about it, there were only two people, but neither of them knew how to do it!”
"Which two?"
